"Everything happened so fast that we did not even understand the degree of danger.My wife just turned candy, as we drove into the ditch and stole her head on The car was worn, but we were saved, "recalls Alexander with aspiration Like 80 other drivers, he competes in the road challenge of the Coca-Cola Driving Experience Challenge. fighter and, at the example of the high-profile accidents of recent years, we have learned to save ourselves and not to paralyze others
Coca-Cola, the Ministry of Emergency Situations, the Cross Red and School of Extreme Driving Potentially, emergency situations were simulated on the training ground of Lipki, where you can find yourself on the road.Most all day worked on the speed of reaction, the way of driving and the feelin The aim of the initiative is to increase the level of safety for motorists.
– People gain the skills to drive in extreme and emergency situations. And also – they learn to give first aid, – the general manager of the company Alexander Denisov sits behind the wheel. – Today, only the Minskers are involved, but we plan to carry out smuggling activities for representatives from all regions. All this aims to reduce the risks. And the results are obvious: in recent years, I do not remember serious accidents involving our employees. MOE: "A detached person almost always flies out the window"
The car was divided into 4 zones in Lipki, and the participants by the same number of teams. While the girls show the accuracy of parking diagonally, a strong floor sweats in the sweat of a "pit stop", changing the wheels. And the other group learns to give first aid to the Red Cross.
The EMERCOM team presented "an instructive attraction" – a car – a "revolver". With "Pbadat" removed all unnecessary, and under the body put a powerful steel frame on the pivot mechanism. People are sitting in a car, tied up with straps, and then … twisted at any angle – like driving the car on the side and on the roof. Let's be honest: the sensations are not pleasant, but the usual three-point belts are surprisingly well to hit the head against the roof.
– In the "tong", people who had never been tied, they said, MES. – "Shot" and for themselves decided: they will use the seat belts. The detached person almost always flies through the window. In addition, with his body, such a driver or pbadenger can cause injuries to neighbors by car.
We are interested in what place in the car is the safest. It turns out that time is not necessary:
– It happens differently, but statistics show: the child is better placed in the right rear seat. At least because for access there is no need to go out on the road. And the adult should sit behind the driver. Because in case of danger, the one who drives instinctively takes to the right
We are moving to another area where we are taught to maneuver in particular conditions. "Elk test" gets its name from the crash scenario with elk. The sudden appearance of the forest giants in front of the machine often leads to serious consequences.
To develop a skill, an obstacle that can not be stopped, you have to turn around. To honor the participants of the road test with this task, they are doing well, furiously screeching tires along the asphalt dump. Someone felt an adrenaline rush: a car was turned so fast that they "razuli" the front wheel.
At this time, at the other end of the test site, there is a squealing of a different kind: the brakes. Under the guidance of instructors, drivers learn to brake on a slippery surface. For this, a special basalt tile track is equipped on the beach – in the wet state it is natural ice. In the same place – exercises to maintain the distance and other methods of emergency stop.
"You can not trust the car and you must predict it"
The extreme driving school brought two types of special cars to Lipki. On one, the rear axle was suspended, and the drivers, under skid conditions, gracefully waltzed around the fries on the machine. The second – a discount car – allows you to drift freely, as it simulates a complete skid of the car.
– It is impossible to prepare for every scenario. But we must learn to predict the situation, – explains the head of the school of extreme driving Sergei Ovchinnikov en route giving orders for the walkie-talkie. – It is also important not to trust, but to doubt. If the car of the secondary road approaches too fast from the intersection – I do not trust him, I will reduce the speed myself. If a car with suspicious numbers is lost on a complex Minsk junction, I will wait or try not to approach it. There must be an opportunity to correct, including the mistake of someone else. Otherwise, we give our life and our health to strangers.
Compared to Europeans, Belarusian drivers are too careless. The expert explains why:
– What we call, how we live, and we go there. And everything starts again in driving schools – we are taught not to go, but to take exams. Plus the negative, which in society suffices: it is not difficult to splash on the road. But it will not be better for anyone because it is true?
In the West, they are taught to read, to calculate the situation of the road. In Scandinavia, drift is part of the driving school curriculum. We do not have any drivers right now.
– If the situation arises unexpectedly, there is little chance of doing anything disastrous. But if you think ahead of time, you can avoid the consequences. For example, when I see a danger, I react almost instantly – for half a second, "continues Sergei Ovchinnikov. – If the driver is not ready, he must think: brake or turn. As a result, the reaction time increases from 1.5 to 4 seconds. And this time difference can be fatal.
"It's better to crash into a car than to crush it"
The expert agreed to explain how to act to prevent fatal accidents. For example, took sensational accidents in Minsk and in the regions. For example, hitting a girl at the mall "Castle", after which the pedestrian crossing and the stop was closed.
– Of course, the machine must be technically sound. But there is another point: judging by the information received, the driver had the opportunity to turn away and avoid the collision, – notes Ovchinnikov. – But if you can not stop, you have to turn away. Maybe even in an empty parked car. The damaged equipment is still not as important as the life of a person
A big accident last week – a collision of a minibus and a truck in Kamenets district, where the whole family was killed. How to act, will such a situation occur in the future?
– Let's think: how fast could the truck turn left? At 80 km / h? No, of course. And I, as a pilot, I think: even if he did not turn on the "turn," why is he creeping so slowly? – The expert explains. "And even if by rules it should be missed, it is better not to take risks." Above all you can not trust the trucks: they are big and heavy, they do not slow down, they accelerate and maneuver. As he gained speed, he flies.
According to the interlocutor, most car drivers are unaware of the particularities of the trucks. As a result, they often visit dead zones where they are simply not visible.
– They do not understand that there may be a right turn of the second band – because the truck will not come out of the first. As a result, pressed on the sidewalk. Therefore, we have to watch his wheels, his turn signals. Give more space, evaluate: does it keep going straight or already spinning? – The instructor explains.
We ask to "dive" into another accident: in the district of Karelich, the driver of UAZ did not face the control, went on the way in the opposite direction and collided with MAZ. How was it necessary to lead?
– Grunt can be different, it can be like snow. In the middle, where the pebbles are cleaned, the car keeps the road well, and on the sides it's worse. And there are pebbles running between the wheel and the road, like rollers, so it's very difficult to steer the car, warns Ovchinnikov. – To leave the drift on the gravel, you need a special skill because a little helm ride – and rolled on these stones. And the recommendation "flying in the direction of skidding" does not work here. It is necessary to turn the steering wheel towards the road.
In addition, in cases of force majeure, people often do nothing, just sinking into stupor. Expert agrees:
– In a dangerous situation, the driver can become numb. And even specifically send the car to an obstacle. If there is a possibility to go into the ditch, into the bushes, to avoid direct collisions, this must be done. At the end, we do not have columns every two meters.
